Jellyfin burning subtitles for AndroidTV (lemmy.zip)

Hey, I’m using Jellyfin and AndroidTV as client.

Everything is usually working fine using direct play. But for a few files, when using subtitles, I will get the message "burning subtitles" and the server will start transcoding it. I haven’t really figured out what format is causing it, but it only happens when enabling subtitles.

Anyone else having this issue? Can I do anything to fix it?
